Octavia Sybella Patience nn Via
Octavia is interesting but I don't see the appeal, sorry. Sybella is so close to Isabella that it makes me think it's just a creative alternative to Isabella, is it a legit name? I think I read somewhere that a celebrity named their daughter Sybella too. Patience isn't my style. Overall, not keen on this combo.
Florence Matilda Primrose nn Ren
This is beautiful! I'm wary of using Florence because of it's rapid rise in popularity but it works so well in this combo. Matilda is gorgeous and Primrose fits perfectly. My only issue is that I don't like the nn Ren, seems a little masculine for such a girly name. Flo/Flossy/Flora would all be sweet.
Charlotte Augusta Marie nn Lottie
Charlotte is lovely, and I love the nn Lottie. A positive over here is that you don't meet many baby Charlotte's anymore, but I almost see it as a little bit dated because all the Charlotte's I know are over the age of 16 y/o. Lottie makes the name feel fresher though. Augusta seems clumpy and doesn't have the same appeal as August on a boy.
Violet Hesper Monroe
Violet is beautiful and gaining popularity for that reason. Monroe isn't my usual style as some might say it's a little try hard but I love it in the middle name spot, it's cute and quirky. I'm not keen on Hesper at all but Violet Monroe is lovely.
Ophelia Beatrix Mabel nn Phee
I love all three names, and the whole combo rolls of the tongue, and sounds beautiful. I would slightly prefer Beatrix Ophelia Mabel but Ophelia nn Phee is darling.
Elizabeth Magnolia Clémence nn Eliza or Effie
It's great to see Elizabeth still being considered and with the large amount of nicknames available, it's still a classic name. I adore you choice of the nicknames Eliza and Effie, think the latter is adorable as a little one. The combo is gorgeous, even though I'm not keen on Magnolia and I do prefer Clementine to Clemence, which seems a little boyish maybe because I've only ever seen it as a last name. I do like the combo, don't get me wrong but it's not my favourite.
Philippa Daisy Hermione nn Pippa
I like that you have opted for Phillippa nn Pippa, but to be honest I'm dreading seeing the UK's top 100 this year because I do think Pippa will have shot up the rankings. The Phillipa spelling looks a little prettier to me, so I'd change that first. Phillipa Daisy sounds lovely but don't like Hermione on the end - the combo doesn't flow very well to me. Phillipa Emmeline Daisy? Phillipa Caroline Daisy? I do think Daisy would sound better as the second middle name.
Adelaide Cora Thisbe nn Ada
Adelaide is beautiful, as is Cora. Not keen on Thisbe at all because all I hear is Frisby so not too appealing to me. Adelaide Cora sounds gorgeous but I'd change the second middle name - Adelaide Cora Vivienne, Adelaide Cora Josephine, Adelaide Cora Beatrice?
Luna Genevieve Dulcie
Luna Genevieve is perfcet! Dulcie seems a little trashy, sorry. It seems like one of those try hard names, and almost very celebrity-esque.
Harriet Ivy Winter nn Hattie
Love, love, love this combo! Harriet nn Hattie is stunning and is on my list and love that it is a well known name without being overly popular. The flow is wonderful, and Winter is just the cutest in the middle name spot.
Favourites...
Florence Matilda Primrose
Harriet Ivy Winter
Ophelia Beatrix Mabel
Luna Genevieve
Adelaide Cora
I could definitely see Florence and Harriet as sisters, and if I could change anything I'd have Beatrix Ophelia Mabel because Florence, Harriet and Beatrix (Flora, Hattie & Bea) would be perfect!Name CrushesCaspar - Rupert - Jacoby - Barnaby - Atlas - Adriel - KoaOlwen - Delphine - Maeve - Peridot - Shoshana

Perhaps a tad more "British" feeling than my own style but stunners, all of them!
Octavia Sybella Patience nn Via: Octavia would be an interesting name to see on a little one! Sybella was a favorite name of mine when I was ten. This is the most British feeling out of all them, but lovely too.
Florence Matilda Primrose nn Ren: I adore both Florence and Matilda.
Charlotte Augusta Marie nn Lottie: Classic!
Violet Hesper Monroe: My favorite; I love Violet, Monroe is a beautiful throwback and Hesper makes me think of mythology
Ophelia Beatrix Mabel nn Phee: I'd love to meet an Ophelia, Beatrix adds a neat twist (as opposed to Beatrice) and Mabel's darling.
Elizabeth Magnolia Clémence nn Eliza or Effie: Elizabeth's traditional but Magnolia is beautiful and Clemence only adds to it.
Philippa Daisy Hermione nn Pippa: Exceedingly British in references to Pippa Middleton and Hermione Granger. I'm not sure I like the combination as much as the others, even if I do love the individual names.
Adelaide Cora Thisbe nn Ada: Adelaide and Cora are nms, but Thisbe is so endearing.
Luna Genevieve Dulcie: Not a combination I'd pick, and I don't care for Dulcie "sweets"?
Harriet Ivy Winter nn Hattie: Harriet's nms and Ivy's grown exceedingly popular but Harriet Ivy Winter is a sure-fire winner.~"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names"~
today's favorites: Arthur, Celia, Wesley, Ariadne

indianruby, thank you!

sheflieswithherownwings, thank you! I also like Flo, Flora and Flossie as nickanames for Forence, but Ren is my favourite.
Beatrix Ophelia Mabel is really stunning!
I also prefer Clementine to Clémence, but I feel Clémence fits in better with Elizabeth Magnolia.
I'm never sure which spelling of Philippa I prefer! Though I do agree that the Phillipa spelling looks more attractive! I also agree that the overall combo doesn't have the best flow, but there's just something about it! Haha. I'm not keen on Emmeline, but Phillipa Caroline Daisy is lovely.
I adore Adelaide Cora Josephine and Adelaide Cora Beatrice.
Flora, Hattie and Bea is the most darling sister sibset!
Thank you author in writing!
Thank you east93!
I do quite like Charlotte Augustine Marie and I adore August as both a female and male name, but I'm afraid my male combination wins.
Thank you so much Cristina!
Thank you etoile! I know exactly how you feel!
